ℹ Tax credits to end on Saturday 5 April 2025 ℹ

📣People currently receiving tax credits from HMRC will no longer get this payment after Saturday 5 April 2025.

💊This means patients who hold a tax credit exemption certificate will no longer receive automatic entitlement to free NHS prescriptions.

📝The FP10 form will be updated to remove reference to the tax credit exemption certificate.

ℹPeople receiving tax credits are being moved to Universal Credit. To continue being entitled to free NHS prescriptions, they must meet the Universal Credit criteria for help with health costs.

📲💻Patients can check that they are entitled to help with health costs before they claim. Patients can use the eligibility checker to find out what they could be entitled to. It usually takes three minutes to check.
